School Calls LGBT Shirt “Gang-Related”

“Within a couple months, two lesbian students on opposite sides of the country have both been reprimanded for wearing a T-shirt that read “Nobody knows I’m a lesbian.”

A student in Northern California, who only identifies to the media as T.V., was sent home for wearing the shirt and is now suing two administration officials, according to the progressive news site The New Civil Rights Movement. She made the complaint last week and is represented by the ACLU. Administration officials gave a hodge-podge of reasons for sending her home, saying that her shirt was “an open invitation to sex,” could be “gang-related,” was “disruptive,” and that she couldn’t wear a shirt that stated her “personal choices and beliefs.”
